| Day | Leg | Flat rate |
|---|---|---|
| Arrival | SAN airport → your hotel (flight-tracked, driver at baggage claim on request) | from $65 |
| Day 2 | Zoo / Balboa Park round trip | $120–$200 |
| Day 3 | SeaWorld or LEGOLAND round trip | $120 / $195+ |
| Evening | Dinner in Little Italy, Gaslamp night | from $65/leg |
| Day 4 | Padres game or Del Mar races round trip | from $80 RT |
| Departure | Hotel → SAN, or the cruise pier | from $65 |
Why one number beats five apps
- One flat ladder everywhere. Airport, pier, beaches, evenings — the same zone prices, published on our rates page with an instant estimator. Nothing to re-price each morning.
- The same driver, where scheduling allows. By day two your driver knows your hotel, your kids' names and your coffee stop. That is the service visitors remember — and why most of our visiting clients ride 4-7 times in a stay.
- Flight-tracked arrival, ship-cutoff departure. The first and last legs are the ones with real stakes; both are planned backward from the timestamp that matters.
- Families: bring your own car seat — for safety reasons you install it, and your driver allows unhurried time; on round trips it stays installed.
- 100% electric, verifiably licensed. BMW i7, Rivian R1S, Escalade IQ-L — TCP #0046494-A, $1.5M insured, owners driving.

Frequently asked
Is there one car service that can cover a whole San Diego trip?
Yes — Elite Green Transportation runs every leg of a visit on one flat zone-rate ladder with one phone number, (858) 522-0264: SAN airport pickup from $65, Zoo/SeaWorld/Balboa Park round trips from $120, LEGOLAND from $195, evenings out from $65 per leg, cruise pier transfers from $65, and the departure ride back. Where scheduling allows, the same named driver covers your stay. Most multi-day visitors take 4-7 rides.
How do we book rides during the trip?
Text or call the same number as your plans firm up — an owner answers, quotes the published flat rate, and locks it. No app, no account, no re-pricing each morning. Many visitors book the airport pickup before landing and add the rest day by day.
Do you do theme parks and beaches?
Yes — published round trips: San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park and SeaWorld from $120, Safari Park and LEGOLAND from $195, plus beaches, Del Mar racing, Padres games and every concert venue in the county, each with its own page and live availability.
What about getting to a cruise at B Street Pier?
Cruise transfers run on the same zone ladder — from $65 (Zone 1 hotels or SAN airport to the pier), with luggage handled and your pickup planned backward from the ship's boarding cutoff. San Diego expects up to 190 cruise calls and 800,000 passengers in 2026-27.
Can we keep the same driver all week?
Where scheduling allows, yes — Elite Green is principal-operated (the owners drive), and visiting clients are typically paired with one driver for the stay. Tell us your dates when you land and we plan the week around them.
Named driver, all-electric fleet, price locked at booking. An owner answers.
